I understand why they are.  A large part (75%) of their voters think the election was rigged for Biden.  That he cheated.  If they don't make a show of trying, that 75% will turn on them and what happens is almost always revolution.

They only believe that because Trump keeps saying it. He has an almost cult-like following who hang on his every word. It's really weird, I don't think I've seen a political leader like it before.

The reputedly smartest man in the world thinks the election was stolen.

https://thenationalpulse.com/news/the-smartest-man-in-the-world-iq-200-is-convinced-the-u-s-election-was-stolen/

Maybe the problem is with the leftists is that they have a blind liberal faith and are not smart enough to put two and two together.

Why all this completely embarrassing machinations around Trump is such a sideshow and only diminishes the Repub brand. I mean really, like anyone with half a brain cell takes kraken Sydney and weeping hair dye stains Guiliani seriously? Forget about that.

I find that is embarrassing that you leftists have been on the defense, unable to produce much in the way of positive evidence for your position, thinking that your "nah uh" and refutations are actually evidence in your favor.

Isn't the National Pulse Bannon's thing? Btw, how's his trial going after bilking people out of their cash for the Wall?

In any case, your smartest guy in the world, Christopher Langan, sounds like a real hoot to have at a dinner party:

Views
Langan's support of conspiracy theories, including the 9/11 Truther movement (Langan has claimed that the George W. Bush administration staged the 9/11 attacks in order to distract the public from learning about the CTMU) and the white genocide conspiracy theory, as well as his opposition to interracial relationships, have contributed to his gaining a following among members of the alt-right and others on the far right.[10][11] Journalists have described certain of Langan's Internet posts as containing "thinly veiled" antisemitism[10] and making antisemitic "dog whistles".
[11]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Langan

I personally love the "...in order to distract the public from learning about the CTMU" bit. The CTMU being his theory of everything, "Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe". That's quite the ego on the guy to think 9/11 was staged and 2996 people were murdered just to conceal HIS theory. Yeah, he reeeeeaaalllly seems like the smartest guy in the world.

As for the left being on the defense. What? What are you referring to? And not producing positive evidence? We did, the positive evidence is that Biden won the popular vote and got 306 certified electoral votes. According to the constitution that makes for a President. And your "positive" evidence - How has that been going in the courts? Swimmingly well so far, right?

9/11 was a conspiracy of people to take down the WTC towers. There is already a conspiracy there. Langdan may have different thoughts on what that conspiracy specifically entailed.

Sounds to me like Christopher Langan is the smartest man in the world and you are not.

As previously discussed, judges have been agreeing with Powell and fraud claims and have been granting audits, subpoenas, court dates.

I need positive evidence there was no fraud? That's odd. No, actually, you need positive evidence that there was systemic fraud that altered the outcome of the 11/3 election. So far our Attorney General has stated none has been found. I'm good with that.

I can't get past the paywall at Epoch Times. In any case, it seems like a hard right wing rag and quite dubious in the "trusted" and "unbiased" categories. Do try and find some legitimately non-biased sources. So far Fox and Newsmax have had to walk back their Dominion/Smartmatic fraud claims. The Epoch Times is probably next.

"The Epoch Times opposes the Chinese Communist Party,[20] promotes far-right politicians in Europe,[3][5] and backs President Donald Trump in the U.S.;[21] a 2019 report by NBC News showed it to be the second-largest funder of pro-Trump Facebook advertising after the Trump campaign.[18][22][23] The Epoch Media Group's news sites and YouTube channels have spread conspiracy theories such as QAnon and anti-vaccination propaganda.[18][24][25]"

I think I just gained my credit back. And this is hilarious. From Langan's FB page back in 2017, He wrote, you know, in his own words:

"The CTMU has already been "all over the news", mostly at the turn of the millennium (just as promised); professed Christian GW Bush and his decidedly non-Christian neocon vultures did everything they could to distract everyone from it by immediately staging 9/11, passing the PATRIOT Act, and invading Iraq and Afghanistan, thus immersing us in these last few years of Middle Eastern bloodshed, after which Obama decided that we also needed wave after wave of fake "refugees" and DHS-sanctioned demographic genocide as we "talked about race" (people talked, and suffered, and sometimes died;"

https://www.facebook.com/groups/ctmurealitytheory/permalink/10155540326532486/

Quite the list of things that went down just to distract from HIS theory. Yep sounds like the smartest guy in American and not a deluded paranoid conspiracy crank. No not at all like that. He's a genius! I can see why you hang on his every word.

Do you think "you can't prove you haven't murdered someone" is a valid argument and should be considered?

Also I'm assuming your refusal to actually stake a claim on any of the bombshells that are going to turn the tide is because you know just as well that they're not going to go anywhere. Otherwise you should be pretty comfortable championing the near-certainty that Biden won't be sworn in in under a month.

It is possible to provide evidence that you didn't murder someone. Establishing alibies, aquiring security cam footage that you were somewhere else at the time, showing receipts/phone location history, proving that the evidence of the murder doesn't fit your profile, proving that it was actually someone else who was the murderer. Plenty of ways.

Benford's law is an established method of identifying evidence of election fraud. Iceman said that it was applied wrongly and that anyone who says Biden's votes don't follow Benford's law is doing it wrong. I asked for a source showing that Biden's votes do follow Benford's law and I got silence. Iceman said it was not necessary for liberals to provide such information. They just need to dismiss something as incorrect and rely on their own lacking credibility.

No no, I'm not asking you to prove you didn't murder a specific person, but that you've never murdered anyone.

They just need to dismiss something as incorrect and rely on their own lacking credibility.

You got several responses about Benford's law, though, and how using it for a very deliberate and roughly uniform division of people is ridiculous, such as using it per county. If you go by random counties, you can find instances of Biden's votes following Benford's law closer than Trump's, like these two random Wisconsin counties:




Or the obvious fact that if you pull out to the state or country level, things start following Benford's law much more closely because that's closer to the scale at which it's supposed to be applied. Yeah, if you use a rule in a context other than which it's supposed to be used, it may give you wonky data.

And, of course, you're not even trying to accurately portray what Iceman said, which was that the burden of proof is on the claimant. A concept I'd be utterly aghast if you disagreed with. I assume what you're trying to say in a very bizarrely obtuse way is that the individual cases still haven't been disproven, in which case...well...I can't help ya, man. I've long accepted that your tune isn't gonna change until Biden wins, which is why I really want to get you to confirm whether or not you think any of this is actually gonna come to pass. Because I think you're refusing to state that since you know that all of this is going to amount to nothing, and if you actually state that it's gonna happen you'll have to admit to being wrong. But if you just post links and never state positively that they'll change things, you can avoid that.

So I really hope you'll answer my question this time and show me you do actually believe in Trump.

You should do some research on Benford’s Law and why it’s inapplicable to election results.

I like bow Tom is pulling all the good Logical Fallacies: appeal to authority, trying to prove a negative, etc.

(Cam footage can be faked. Allabies can be lies.  Etc...)

Also, Tom needs to look at the report.  Its clear that the man doing it WORKED FOR NASA!
Therefore, how can Tom Trust him?

I'm gonna read the report and see how bad it is.

-Well, I got through some of it and I'm seeing a pattern....
A small county has poor IT support.  This is kinda expected.  Hell, my company is a multi-Billion dollar company that has like 7,000 windows 7 pcs on the internet and on our network.  Sooo... Not unique to anything.  Still shitty but not malicious intent.

Also the claim that the machine was designed to cheat is misleading.  From what I can tell here is what happened:

The county realized they didn't update the machine after Nov 3 and it was running old code.  Someone went 'oh shit' and installed the update without running to certify the settings were correct.  The update reset the settings and fucked it all up(like changing the ballot size to default and not what the county used) so alot of ballots (most) had to go to manual tabulation (ie. Adjunct).

So a manual recount is recommended.  Which was done.  And Trump still won it.
So not sure why Tom would keep harping on this.  He is literally arguing that Trump's win of Antrim county is in question. 

https://www.wifr.com/2020/12/21/trump-still-wins-small-michigan-county-after-hand-recount/


But if he feels we should invalidate the whole county, I'm sure Trump won't mind losing 9k votes.  Right?

I read that. It concluded that in some counties the Biden Harris results were hard to explain, except when you compare it to the results of "some German elections" which he assumed to always be legitimate.

"The 2BL test(based on the second digits and Benford’s Law digit probabilities, (Mebane 2014)) shows
second-digit means that differ significantly from 4.187 for both Biden Harris and
Trump Pence: the Trump Pence result is perfectly compatible with nonstrategic votes (see
Mebane 2013, Figure 2), while the result for Biden Harris is harder to explain—but it
matches results observed in some German elections (Mebane 2013, Figure 22) that are
generally not considered to be problematic."
